On July 19, 2025, in Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria, a young man was arrested for shouting three simple words: “We love bacon.”
What should have been a harmless affirmation of British culture was instead branded “racially abusive” under Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986. According to police reports, his remark — delivered during a grassroots protest against the construction of yet another mega-mosque — was treated as a criminal offense. Police hauled him into a van as if he were a violent criminal. His only “crime” was celebrating a traditional English breakfast in front of a mosque.
Unlike other religions that abstain from pork but do not impose their rules on society at large, Islam in Britain has incrementally managed to erase references to pigs — and even dogs — from multiple sectors of culture and symbolism.
In footage from the protest, the man can be heard shouting “We love bacon” before officers immediately descend and arrest him.
He was promptly detained and hauled into a police van, leaving onlookers stunned. This was no hate speech. He didn’t tell anyone else to eat bacon — he merely asserted his own cultural right to enjoy traditional English food. Not that it should matter, but his words were a personal affirmation — not incitement. In modern Britain, even declaring a preference for a traditional breakfast can now be treated as a crime.
The video of his arrest was posted to X on August 16, 2025.
Criminalizing British Symbols
This is only the latest chapter in a long pattern of authorities bowing to Islamic demands. Unlike other religions that reject pork but leave others alone, Islam in the UK has incrementally erased references to pigs — and even dogs — from British culture and public life.
In 2014, a couple was thrown off a public bus for singing the Peppa Pig theme song because a Muslim woman found it offensive. Their autistic daughter relied on the song to calm down, but their family’s needs were dismissed. Had they sung any other tune that did not offend Muslims, they would not have been removed. The issue wasn’t “public order.” It was the creeping application of Sharia over British freedoms.
Two years later, the stakes escalated. In 2016, four people — Kevin Crehan, Mark and Alison Bennett, and Angelina Swales — were prosecuted for what the press sensationally called a “bacon attack” on a Bristol mosque. In reality, they had placed bacon strips and an English St. George’s flag on the site — an act closer to littering than “hate crime.” Crehan received 12 months in prison, Bennett 9 months, while the women were handed suspended sentences. All four were hit with 10-year restraining orders banning them from approaching any mosque in England or Wales. Crehan tragically died in custody later that year.
The severity of those sentences, compared to the leniency often shown toward far more destructive acts committed by Muslims against churches, exposes how deeply the system is skewed. Much more serious vandalism by Muslims against churches in the UK and across Europe is rarely prosecuted with the same force — if at all.
The message is clear: British symbols are criminalized, and Islamic sensitivities are enforced. That is not “two-tier justice.” That is Sharia, Islamic law.
Grassroots Resistance, Media Smears
The Dalton protest itself was organized by local residents genuinely worried about their community being transformed. Yet the media and political class branded them “racist” and “far right.”
The Telegraph dutifully echoed Labour’s line: “Lake District mosque protesters are racist.” This is textbook Saul Alinsky Rule 13: isolate, demonize, and label patriots as “Nazis” until they are too toxic to defend.
When councillors or left-wing activists openly call patriotic Brits “Nazis” — even suggesting their throats should be cut — they face no real consequences. But ordinary citizens chanting or carrying banners against Islamic influence are met with arrests, kettling, and charges.
One stark example came when City Councillor Ricky Jones was acquitted after calling protesters against the Southport jihad attack — where two little girls were murdered and many more injured — “Nazis” who deserved to have their throats cut. His acquittal underscores the one-way application of “justice”: violent threats from the Left are excused, while peaceful patriotic dissent is punished.
Section 40, Section 5, and the War on Truth
The bacon arrest is part of a broader pattern. Police are increasingly using legal tools like Section 5 of the Public Order Act or Section 40 — once described by the International Business Times as “the only law in British history to punish people for telling the truth” — to silence dissent.
Britons have been outraged by this legislation, seeing it as an attack on free speech, and have taken to the streets to protest. Their outrage is captured in the following video:
These powers are wielded almost exclusively against patriotic Britons, while dangerous Islamic and antisemitic demonstrations go largely unchecked.
The Same Pattern in America: Dearborn’s Sharia Arrests
This creeping two-tier justice is not confined to Britain. The same playbook is already being used in the United States — most visibly in Dearborn, Michigan.
On August 16, 2025, Dearborn police arrested Anthony Young, a 27-year-old man, for a reckless Facebook comment about the city’s annual Arba’een march. His vague words were speculative and not a direct threat, yet police stormed his home, charged him, and a judge ordered him to wear a GPS tether and stay off the internet — all for a social media post.
Meanwhile, mobs in Dearborn have repeatedly chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” at public rallies led by radical clerics like Imam Husham Al-Husainy, a known supporter of Hezbollah and Iran’s “Death to America” slogan. Muslim Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and Muslim Police Chief Issa Shahin have done nothing to stop these open calls for violence. Instead, they promise “zero tolerance” for outsiders who criticize or offend their community.
The double standard could not be clearer: in Dearborn, as in Dalton, non-Muslims are punished for words, while Muslims are excused when they glorify terrorists or chant for America’s destruction.
Dalton to Dearborn: A Shared Sharia Double Standard
From Dalton to Dearborn, the pattern is the same: peaceful citizens punished for words, while Islamic incitement is excused.
This is not free society. This is not equal justice. It is Sharia logic creeping into Western law enforcement. The only question now is whether the British and American people will resist — because if saying “We love bacon” is a crime today, what will be a crime tomorrow?
